Every once in a while comes a new disruptive technology that changes everything. VR has stalled, the headsets are not bringing VR to the masses as promised. Step forward Omegavision which is VR without the headset, and so much more. Omegavision is essentially a VR system that allows you to work within the environment sitting at your desktop or standing. A system that will deliver immersive photography, CGI, and an immersive windows environment all on the same platform.

I invited CEO Frank Harris on to the show to learn more about how the folks at Vention believe that they possess the patent rights to the future of VR

Currently the Vice President of construction for a significant developer in Portland Oregon and directing the design and construction of a 21 story luxury condominium as well as the development of a 6 story storage facility.

His passion for engineering has driven his studies of analytical geometry, crystallography, metallurgy and topology, and when he is not with his family you may often find him in his workshop tinkering with some new idea or invention. He is the sole patent owner of this groundbreaking Omegavision virtual reality system.
